Thanks for a prompt, unambiguous reply (and much less promising as

LISTSERV) forever.  What a shame.

I didn't suggest how much work it might be for you to program it. I
suggested that it was easy for _users_ and _file owners_ to _use_ (well,
as easy as LISTSERV lists are to use, and I think they're easy!).
